Job description
At Salesmsg , we believe conversations are good for business.
The fastest, easiest way to start those conversations is through text messages. That’s why we built a simple, scalable platform that makes two-way texting conversations possible for businesses.
Our team of extremely talented people designed our Salesmsg app—our all-in-one text messaging and calling platform for sales, marketing and support teams.
Salesmsg is also a fast-growing startup. For two years in a row, Inc. Magazine has named Salesmsg one of the fastest growing private companies in America as part of their prestigious Inc. 5000 list.
Since we launched, Salesmsg has helped thousands of businesses attract, engage, convert, and care for customers with text messaging.
Right now, we’re looking for a sales genius to lead, grow and manage our sales team.
(Could this be you? Keep reading to find out. But first…)
Why Salesmsg?
We’re a people first company.
Easy to say, right? We really mean it. We love hiring remarkable, brilliant-but-humble people who are some of the kindest people you’ll meet. That includes everyone from our two co-founders to our just-started-this-week team members.
We ALSO put our customers first. Our ultimate goal is our customers’ success. That goal drives every area of our business from our product team who created 157 new features in 2023 alone to our customer success team who responds to customers in an hour (or less).
We’re a remote company. Why bother moving or driving to the office when you can work from home? That’s why our team is spread across the U.S., Europe and Asia (Florida, New York, Georgia, Indiana, Colorado, Wisconsin, Texas, Utah, California, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Belarus). As long as you can show up to work on your computer, we’re happy to have you!
We only build exceptional SaaS products. Our worldwide team built our best-in-class platform with simple, scalable features that we improve every single day.
We give potentially life-changing equity. We’re a startup, so we want to reward the top performers who get us where we’re going. That’s why we give equity in the company, so your hard work in our company’s future will directly impact your future too.
We pile on the benefits. Besides a competitive salary and equity, we offer all the benefits you need to take care of yourself and your family like health, vision and dental.
Our Core Values
- We Figure It Out.
No micro-managers here. Instead, we innovate and tackle challenges ourselves. Also, we’re a startup. Stuff breaks. Barriers happen. We figure it out. We help each other. No worries. - Seek Continuous Improvement.
We’re after GREATNESS. That means we’re always reading and learning ourselves. If we don’t know something, we Google it. We get certified. We learn. Period. - Keep it Real & Conversational.
Seeing things as they truly are gives us power. That’s why we speak openly and honestly at all times. We know that leaving things unsaid can breed resentment and crumble the highest-performing teams. So we encourage everyone to speak up. - People First Mindset.
Our team and customers come first. We know we can’t build anything without our incredible team—and we can’t sell anything without our awesome customers. - Be Flexible.
There will always be twists and turns when you work for a startup. So we encourage everyone to be nimble, flexible and hook each other up whenever we can. We win together as a flexible group, not as any one person.
Head of Sales: Is this you?
Are you the leader who can crush your own sales numbers—while you grow a high-performance team at the same time?
Do you have that magnetic personality (or just serious people skills) that makes all kinds of customers want to not just talk with you, but hang out with you in person?
Do you have countless contacts in your phone of top people in multiple industries—and you can’t wait to get them on the phone again?
Beyond that, do you love digging into the sales numbers and figuring out how to do everything you’re doing even better?
If so, you could be the sales leader we’re looking for.
As our new Head of Sales, you’ll be in charge of every aspect of our sales department. That includes owning this team’s KPIs including sales-led revenue and sales-driven lead generation.
In this key customer-facing role, you’ll also be creating a methodical, data-driven sales process, filling and driving the sales pipeline, and closing enterprise-level deals across multiple verticals.
And of course, you’ll be building, managing and developing a high-performance SaaS sales team.
(Sound like fun? Keep reading!)
What you’ll see and improve
- Sales numbers: At the highest level, you’ll own the KPIs for your entire sales team. That includes aggressively expanding our customer base with sales-driven leads in the pipeline and sales-driven revenue.
- Sales team: We just started growing this team. So we’re relying on you to help us hire, train and lead a team of high-performing SDR’s and account executives. You’ll also ensure everyone on your new team hits their KPIs and goals.

- Build your pipeline: You’ll be in charge of building and maintaining your own robust sales pipeline—and finding potential leads through your own research.
- Create the sales playbook: You’ll develop and implement a scalable sales process from prospecting and demand generation through contract execution.
- Be the coach your team needs: You’ll effectively help your team of quota-carrying salespeople manage a full sales cycle, build and maintain a pipeline, and deliver accurate forecasting.
- Help your clients become our next success stories. You’ll work with the rest of our team to help ensure successful onboarding for your newest clients.
- Find new opportunities in the numbers: You’ll leverage our CRM data to construct, forecast and manage sales activity and drive a pipeline to meet revenue targets and company goals.
- Make what we do better: As the face of our company (and voice of our customers), we’d love for you to collaborate with internal product teams to provide feedback that can shape future product development.
- The countless things we have NOT thought of yet: Again, we don’t micromanage. You tell us what needs to happen to hit our numbers. Then do it. Simple as that.
